Assistant Greenkeeper
Get Golfing CIO, one of the UK's fastest growing golf and hospitality operators, is looking for an Assistant Greenkeeper to support its venue at Sherfield Oaks Golf Club. Located just off the M3 the 500 acre, 36 hole golf site is an enjoyable test for golfers of all abilities. Both courses The Wellington and The Waterloo benefit from USGA specification greens, tees and approaches. Following great investment the site has benefited from a clubhouse refurbishment as well as a full bunker redevelopment of the Wellington course. Refurbishment of the Waterloo bunkers is currently underway and due to be completed by the end of the year. In addition the greens team have benefited from new machinery and a new maintenance facility is scheduled for 2025.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to lead the team through the completion of inhouse projects and raise the performance of the site as a whole.
